Holistic, patient-centered medical care
The goal of the School of Medicine is to train “doctors and medical scientists with a strong interest in medical science, an extensive education, great sensitivity and a profound insight into human nature, and who also have good communication skills and can provide holistic patient-centered medical care”.
Development of high-level powers of discernment
As they learn the basic medical knowledge required of a doctor or medical scientist, the students actively engage in medical research and real-life medical care, deepening their understanding and empathy regarding human nature. In their six years of education, we train them to be doctors and medical scientists who will contribute to society through the development of better medical care, health and welfare.

In consideration of the fact that pharmacy is an academic discipline related to human life, the school, prepares students to become professional pharmacists in the field of health care and other industries on the basis of humanitarian qualities and high ethical standards, as well as a broad range of knowledge. who also have good communication skills and can provide holistic patient-centered medical care”.
As for research, studies are conducted on all processes from the development of drugs to their practical application to patients. These involve chemical synthesis of pharmaceuticals, isolation and identification of active ingredients from natural products, animal experiments on the effects and side effects of drugs, studies on the mechanism of disease, and studies on the individual differences in effects and side effects of drugs. Some of the research also covers environmental pollution as well as the relationship between drugs and society.
The School of Pharmacy is looking forward to welcoming eager students with the will to devote themselves to their profession — both those who have the ambition and background required to become advanced pharmacists with rich human qualities and high ethical standards, and those aspiring to become medical/pharmaceutical researchers or educators after going on to doctoral courses.

The School of Pharmaceutical Sciences aims to foster diverse talent, producing graduates who will become, for example, university researchers in the pharmaceutical fields related to the discovery and production of medicine, corporate staff engaged in the research and development of new drugs and provision of medical information in the knowledge-intensive pharmaceutical industry, and officials of government institutions engaged in sanitary administration.
On the research front, both basic and applied studies in a wide range of academic fields of life science are conducted. These include physical chemistry, organic synthetic chemistry, analytical science and molecular biology. Subjects of ongoing leading-edge studies include chemical reaction using light, highly selective / highly effective synthetic methods for developing medicines, sensitive analysis of biogenic substances, and homeostatic mechanisms.
The main purpose of this school is the development of outstanding researchers; therefore, we strongly encourage students to go on to graduate school (integrated course of master’s and doctoral levels). We are expecting to welcome highly studious individuals who are interested in life science and pharmaceutical science, and who are keen to contribute to the improvement of human health.

Health promotion
The aim of the field of health sciences is to contribute to the realization of healthy and happy lifestyles, and to the maintenance of human dignity. In the School of Health Sciences, students master basic skills and acquire knowledge of the health sciences. They are trained to be “health science professionals” who can contribute to advances in human health, medical care and welfare. (Students are qualified to take the state examination when they graduate.)
Passionate, caring healthcare professionals and researchers
We train students to be top-class professionals with scientific knowledge, theory and skills in health sciences, medical care and welfare, and who are capable of dealing with such issues as changes in the medical care system, the introduction of highly advanced medical technology, changes in health perspectives, and social needs and trends. It is also possible to continue on to further education at the postgraduate level to fulfill society’s need for highly trained researchers and educators in the health sciences.
